THE BRIGHT SIDE
Lake Geneva Winterfest 2026 is expected to be one of the best years yet.
The event many wait all year for is one week away. Get ready for some great winter fun. Wednesday, January 28th through Sunday, February 1st, you can enjoy watching the talented fifteen teams from across the nation create impressive snow sculptures. The days leading up to the start of Winterfest will be busy. The snow blocks will be created on Monday and Tuesday before the start of the Snow Sculpting Invitational. Wrigley Drive will be blocked off to traffic between Broad Street and Center Street.
The sculptures will be along the icy shores of Geneva Lake in Flat Iron Park and the Riviera Plaza. There will also be dazzling ice sculptures throughout the downtown area sponsored by local businesses and created by the skillful artists of Below Zero. There will be the favorite bonfires on the beach with hot cocoa and live entertainment, and so much more outdoor winter fun.
This is a great winter family weekend with so much to do and see. The event is free, and you can avoid the stress of parking in Lake Geneva by utilizing the shuttle, which will be running from the park and ride on Sheridan Springs Road and the Home Depot parking lot on Edwards Boulevard all weekend.
